It was also an embodiment of Progressive Era beliefs that public works and public control of transportation infrastructure could counterbalance the growing monopoly power of railroads and other corporations. The Barge Canal system’s four main branches, the Erie, Champlain, Oswego, and Cayuga-Seneca canals, are much enlarged versions of waterways that were initially constructed during the 1820s. The Erie Canal, first opened in 1825, was America’s most successful and influential manmade waterway, facilitating and shaping the course of settlement in the Northeast, Midwest, and Great Plains; connecting the Atlantic seaboard with territories west of the Appalachian Mountains, and establishing New York City as the nation’s premiere seaport and commercial center. Built to take advantage of the only natural lowlands between Georgia and Labrador, New York’s canals were enormously successful and had to be enlarged repeatedly during the nineteenth century to accommodate larger boats and increased traffic. The Barge Canal, constructed 1905-18, is the latest and most ambitious enlargement.

Wrona, Branch Chief Projects Branch 2 Division of License Renewal Office of Nuclear Reactor Program US Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001 RE: Draft Biological Opinion for License Renewal of the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3 Dear Mr. Wrona: Please find enclosed a copy of the draft Biological Opinion on the effects of the operation of the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Station Units 2 and 3 (Indian Point) pursuant to a renewed operating license that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission) proposes to issue to Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy). I understand that Entergy requested a copy of a draft Opinion from you. In light of the schedule for consultation, please provide your comments and a copy of Entergy's comments to me by September 6, 2011. While I am providing you a copy of the draft Opinion now in light of the consultation schedule, I would also welcome your comments on whether initiation of consultation on this matter was appropriate at this particular time. When initiating consultation with NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), the Commission staff defined the proposed action as the operation of Indian Point for the new 20-year license term under the same conditions that appear in the existing license and the existing State Pollution Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) permit. However, as most recently discussed in a letter to me from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), the proposed action seems very uncertain given NYSDEC has denied Entergy's request for Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification based on its initial and amended application.

  • National Significance and Historical Context
    2.1 2 National Signifi cance and Historical Context NATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE OVERVIEW Th e Erie Canal is the most successful and infl uential human-built waterway and one of the most important works of civil engineering and construction in North America. It facilitated and shaped the course of settlement of the North- east, Midwest, and Great Plains, knit together the Atlantic Seaboard with the area west of the Appalachian Mountains, solidifi ed New York City’s place as the young nation’s principal seaport and commercial center, and became a central element forging the national identity. New York’s canal system, including the Erie Canal and its laterals – principally the Champlain, Oswego, and Cayuga-Seneca Canals – opened the interior of the continent. Built through the only low-level gap between the Appalachian Mountain chain and the Adirondack Mountains, the Erie Canal provided one of the principal routes for migration and an economical and reliable means for transporting agricultural products and manufactured goods between the American interior, the eastern seaboard, and Europe. Th e Erie Canal was a heroic feat of early 19th century engineering and construc- tion, and at 363 miles long, more than twice the length of any canal in Europe. Photo: It was without precedent in North America, designed and built through sparsely Postcard image of canal basin in Clinton Square, Syracuse, ca. 1905 settled territory by surveyors, engineers, contractors, and laborers who had to learn much of their craft on the job. Engineers and builders who got their start on New York’s canals went on to construct other canals, railroads, and public water supplies throughout the new nation.

  • Freeze-Up Ice Jams
    ICE JAM REFERENCE AND TROUBLE SPOTS Ice Jam Reference Ice jams cause localized flooding and can quickly cause serious problems in the NWS Albany Hydrologic Service Area (HSA). Rapid rises behind the jams can lead to temporary lakes and flooding of homes and roads along rivers. A sudden release of a jam can lead to flash flooding below with the addition of large pieces of ice in the wall of water which will damage or destroy most things in its path. Ice jams are of two forms: Freeze up and Break up. Freeze up jams usually occur early to mid winter during extremely cold weather. Break up jams usually occur mid to late winter with thaws. NWS Albany Freeze Up Jam Criteria: Three Consecutive Days with daily average temperatures <= 0°F NWS Albany Break Up Jam Criteria: 1) Ice around 1 foot thick or more? And 2) Daily Average Temperature forecast to be >= 42°F or more? Daily Average Temperature = (Tmax+Tmin)/2 Rainfall/snowmelt with a thaw will enhance the potential for break up jams as rising water helps to lift and break up the ice. A very short thaw with little or no rain/snowmelt may not be enough to break up thick ice. ** River forecasts found at: http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/forecasts.php?wfo=aly will not take into account the effect of ice. ** Ice jams usually form in preferred locations in the NWS Albany HSA. See the “Ice Jam Trouble Spots” below for a list of locations where ice jams frequently occur. Ice Jam Trouble Spots **This is not an all inclusive list, but rather a list of locations where ice jams have been reported in the past.
